Semolino, Italian restaurant in Marszałkowska Street, Warsaw, Poland
Semolino is an Italian restaurant on Marszałkowska Street in Warsaw, serving handmade pasta, pizzas, and dishes inspired by different regions of Italy using both local and imported products. The kitchen is open, so you can see the cooks preparing food from your seat.
The restaurant was founded by chef Massimiliano Boscaro, who trained across different regions of Italy and wanted to bring genuine regional recipes and techniques to Warsaw. It was among the first places in the city to focus on regional Italian cooking rather than a generic Italian menu.
The name Semolino comes from the Italian word for semolina, the flour used to make fresh pasta, which reflects what the kitchen focuses on. Inside, the copper and wood setting brings to mind a traditional Italian trattoria, where meals are meant to be shared.
The restaurant sits on Marszałkowska Street, a central road in Warsaw that is easy to reach on foot or by metro. A reservation is a good idea for weekend evenings, as the place tends to fill up.
Guests can build their own pasta dish by choosing the dough type, filling, and sauce separately, which is not common in most Italian restaurants. This means that two people at the same table can end up with completely different plates.
